My Retirement

April 2nd, 2008 at 12:51 am

Hi, everyone. You may notice that in the left column, the numbers for my retirement have changed. I haven't really paid much attention to it and am very surprised it has done so well. I only started investing July 2006 and have been contributing 5% of my income every payday. I am supposed to meet with a financial advisor on April 30th to talk about what changes I need to make. I am 37 and want to retire well enough that I don't have to clip coupons when I am 70, you know. I know sometime in the future, I would like to start an IRA, but not until I have my debt paid off. My husband does not support me having a retirement fund, but he is disabled, 8 years older than me, and not currently working. Statistically speaking, I will live longer than he will and need to prepare for my potential future.

    Watch on PBS the special about Suze Orman's Women and Money - very insightful - might help you come up with a plan for your retirement savings.
